When you're at trash auto, open the shop manuals on the floor and look for the clues, distributor hold down bolt placement and where pointer is and what to disconnect.
Highly doubt the timing is off, tho.
It's hard to get to (distb bolt), to adjust by previous owner.
I still think poor gas in tank.
The lock bolt is on the base of the passenger side of the distributor. If i remember correctly its a 15mm. When you finally do find it, you'll need a U-jointed ratchet extension. Make sure before you go turning the distributor, you dissconnect the ECT wire. (its the brown and yellow wire that sticks out of the weather packing on the passender side of the firewall).
